CO2 photocatalytic reduction is a carbon–neutral renewable energy technology. However, this technology is restricted by the low utilization of photocatalytic electrons. Therefore, to improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers and enhance the performance of CO2 photocatalytic reduction. In this paper, g-C3N4/Pd composite with Schottky junction was synthesized by using g-C3N4, a two-dimensional material with unique interfacial effect, as the substrate material in combination with the co-catalyst Pd. The composite of Pd and g-C3N4 was tested to have a strong localized surface plasmon resonance effect (LSPR), which decreased the reaction barriers and improved the electron utilization. The combination of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) created a π–π conjugation effect at the g-C3N4 interface, which shortened the electron migration path and further improved the thermal electron transfer and utilization efficiency. The results show that the g-C3N4/ rGO/Pd (CRP) exhibits the best performance for photocatalytic reduction of CO2, with the yields of 13.57 μmol g− 1 and 2.73 μmol g− 1 for CO and CH4, respectively. Using the in situ infrared test to elucidate the intermediates and the mechanism of g-C3N4/rGO/Pd (CRP) photocatalytic CO2 reduction. This paper provides a new insight into the interface design of photocatalytic materials and the application of co-catalysts.

In the present work, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were anchored with the assistance of vinyl ester resin (VE) on the carbon fiber surfaces of conventional carbon fabrics (CCF) and semi-spread carbon fabrics (SSCF) having different areal density, ply thickness, and crimp number, respectively. Here, MWCNT anchoring means that MWCNT were physically attached on the individual carbon fiber surfaces of each fabric by coating with dilute VE and then by thermally curing it. The MWCNT anchoring effect on the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of CCF/VE and SSCF/VE composites was investigated. MWCNT were also simply applied (without physical attachment) to the carbon fiber surfaces of CCF and SSCF for comparison, respectively. It was found that SSCF/VE composites exhibited the ILSS higher than CCF/VE composites, regardless of simple-applying or anchoring of MWCNT, increasing the ILSS with the MWCNT concentration. It was noted that MWCNT anchoring was effective to improve not only the interlaminar adhesion but also the interfacial bonding between the carbon fiber and the matrix due to the formation of MWCNT bridges between the individual carbon fibers of SSCF, indicating that the MWCNT anchoring effect was more pronounced with SSCF than with CCF. The result of the interlaminar property was well supported by the fiber and composite fracture topography.

The effects of different plasma agent species ( CF4, N2) over the conductivity of CFX cathode material were identified. Both plasma treatments have surface etching effect, while the CF4 plasma treatment has C–F bond modification effect and the N2 plasma treatment has defluorination effect. The changes of surface chemical species and porosity along the plasma agent were elucidated. Moreover, the electrochemical properties of plasma-treated CFX confirmed the effects of plasma treatments. The charge-transfer resistance of plasma-treated CFX was maximum 60.3% reduced than the pristine CFX. The effects of surface chemical modification coupled with etching along the plasma gas agents were compared and identified with their reaction mechanisms.

최근 여러 연구에서 Hg2+에 선택적으로 반응해 형광을 강화시키거나 소광시키는 thiophene을 기반으로한 probe가 많이 개발되어 왔지만, 이에 따른 분광학적 현상에 대한 정확한 분자적 수준의 이론적 해석이 이루어지지 않 았다. 이에 따라 우리는 Hg2+와 thiophene간 상호작용을 면밀히 분석하기 위해 Hg2+와 thiophene간 거리에 따른 에너 지 포텐셜을 구하였다. Hg2+ 이온에 대한 모든 전자(all electron, AE) basis set인 x2c-TZVPPall와 effective core potential (ECP) 기반인 LANL2DZ는 모두 상대성 효과가 고려된 바닥 상태에서 Hg2+와 thiophene이 결합력이 없이 해 리가 되는 에너지 포텐셜을 보여주었지만, 용매인 물이 고려된 시스템에서는 Hg2+와 thiophene이 결합력을 가지는 것 을 보였으며 이것은 실험적인 결과를 잘 재현하는 것이었다. 따라서 Hg2+ 이온을 포함하는 착화합물 시스템에서 올바 른 에너지 상태를 구하기 위해서는 상대성효과와 더불어 solvent 영향도 잘 고려돼야 함을 알 수 있다.

In this study, in order to confirm the machining characteristics of AISI 1020 CD-Bar, cutting was performed after strength measurement, and surface roughness analysis was performed according to cutting conditions. Tensile strength was reduced by about 27.7% compared to AISI 1045 material, and Rockwell hardness HRC was reduced by 46.7%. The surface roughness measurement after cutting was divided into roughing, semi-finishing and finishing turning. In particular, in finishing machining, the best surface roughness was confirmed when the cutting speed was 150m/min and the depth of cut was 0.6mm based on the feed rate of 0.05mm/rev.

In this study, nitric acid oxidation with varied treatment temperature and time was conducted on the surfaces of polyacrylonitrile- based ultrahigh modulus carbon fibers. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and surface tension/dynamic contact angle instruments were used to investigate changes in surface topography and chemical functionality before and after surface treatment. Results showed that the nitric acid oxidation of ultrahigh modulus carbon fibers resulted in decreases in the values of the crystallite thickness Lc and graphitization degree. Meanwhile, increased treating temperature and time made the decreases more obviously. The surfaces of ultrahigh modulus carbon fibers became much more activity and functionality after surface oxidation, e.g., the total surface energy of oxidized samples at 80 °C for 1 h increased by 27.7% compared with untreated fibers. Effects of surface nitric acid oxidation on the mechanical properties of ultrahigh modulus carbon fibers and its reinforced epoxy composites were also researched. Significant decreases happened to the tensile modulus of fibers due to decreased Lc value after the nitric acid oxidation. However, surface treatment had little effect on the tensile strength even as the treating temperature and processing time increased. The highest interfacial shear strength of ultrahigh modulus carbon fibers/epoxy composites increased by 25.7% after the nitric acid oxidation. In the final, surface oxidative mechanism of ultrahigh modulus carbon fibers in the nitric acid oxidation was studied. Different trends of the tensile strength and tensile modulus of fibers in the nitric acid oxidation resulted from the typical skin–core structure.

This study analyzes the internal temperature characteristics of heater module using a numerical method when the constant heat flux and heat flux time are applied to the surface heating element. The horizontal and vertical dimensions of heater module are 100mm, and the height is 5mm. The heat flux is 10,000W/m2, 15,000W/m2, and 20,000W/m2, and heat flux time is 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds and 50 seconds, respectively. When the heat flux time was 50 seconds, the temperature of the surface heating element rose to 120.5°C, while the skin epidermis temperature rose 1.7°C. As a result, the surface temperature of the surface heating element increased greatly in the horizontal direction, while it increased low in the depth direction. This is because the heat conduction of the surface heating element is transmitted in the X-Y plane direction, and the thermal conductivity of the pet(polyethylene terephthalate) film and insulation sheet under the surface heating element is very low. when the heat flux at the surface heating element is 20,000W/m2, the skin's epidermal temperature rises up to 0.82℃ compared to 10,000W/m2 and 15,000W/m2.

This paper reports slug bubble dynamics on modified surface with two-dimensional graphene film in downward-facing nucleate boiling. Behaviors of slug bubbles were observed with high speed camera, and post-processing was followed to measure departing speed, frequency, and diameter of slug bubbles, which were important to analyze boiling performance change. The graphene-modified surface showed enhanced boiling heat transfer coefficient (BHTC) and critical heat flux (CHF). The effect of surface modification on slug bubble dynamics was quantitatively analyzed; bigger slugs departed from the modified surface with faster speed but same frequency, compared with the bare. It seems that the BHTC enhancement is caused by increase of bubble diameter, resulting in increase of its departing speed. The higher speed of departing bubble could extend the hydrodynamic limit of vapor removal from downward-facing surface, so that CHF performance could be enhanced.

필로티는 현대건축에서 주차공간의 활용, 보행자의 통로 등 여러 가지 이점을 가지고 있기 때문에 아파트와 오피스텔과 같은 고층건축물에 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 고층건축물의 필로티 형태 특성상 강풍이 불 때 바람이 집중되기 때문에 필로티 천장과 벽 면에 위치하고 있는 외장재 및 주골조가 파손되기 쉽다. 그리고 이러한 외장재 및 주골조의 탈락으로 인해 2차 피해가 발생할 우려가 있다. 하지만 건축구조기준(KBC-2016)에서는 고층건축물에 대한 천장 및 벽면의 풍압계수만을 제시할 뿐 필로티에 대한 기준이 명시 되어 있지 않다. 본 논문은 고층건축물에서 사용되는 필로티의 종류로서 관통형, 개방형 필로티를 선정하였고, 필로티의 폭과 깊이를 변수로 하여 풍동실험을 진행하였다. 그리고 변수에 따른 풍압계수의 특성을 파악하였고 비교 및 분석하였고 본 논문의 실험결과를 통 하여 필로티 설계 시 활용할 수 있는 주골조 및 외장재 설계용 풍압계수를 제시하였다.

Generally, ceramic tiles for building construction are manufactured by dry forming process using granular powders prepared by spray drying process after mixing and grinding of mineral raw materials. In recent years, as the demand for large ceramic tiles with natural texture has increased, the development of granule powders with high packing ratio and excellent flowability has become more important. In this study, ceramic tile granule powders are coated with hydrophobically treated silica nanoparticles. The effects of hydrophobic silica coating on the flowability of granule powders and the strength of the green body are investigated in detail. Silica nanoparticles are hydrophobically treated with GPTMS(3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxy silane), which is an epoxy-based silane coupling agent. As the coating concentration increases, the angle of repose and the compressibility decrease. The tap density and flowability index increase after silica coating treatment. These results indicate that hydrophobic treatment can improve the flowability of the granular powder, and prevent cracking of green body at high pressure molding.
